3 eggs Salt Pepper
2 tablespoons cottage cheese
Beat the eggs slightly, season highly with salt and pepper, turn into hot, well-greased saucepan and scramble very quickly. When firm, stir into them as quickly as possible the cottage cheese. Serve as soon as thoroughly mixed.
This dish is improved if the cheese has previously been mixed with pimento or parsley.
6 hard-boiled eggs 1/2 cup cottage cheese
I cup white sauce
1 sweet red pepper cut in strips
Cut the eggs into quarters and place about one fourth of the amount in a buttered baking-dish. Cover this layer with sauce into which the cottage cheese has been folded and sprinkle over it a layer of sliced green or red sweet pepper. Repeat until the dish is full. Sprinkle bread crumbs on top, dot with butter and brown in a hot oven.
2 cups cold mashed potato 1/2 cup bread crumbs 1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg.
4 eggs
1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley
I teaspoon drippings
Mix the seasoned mashed potato with the nutmeg and divide into four parts (if the potatoes are stiff add a little milk). Roll in the bread crumbs and place in an earthenware dish which has been brushed with the drippings. Make a hole in the center of the potatoes large enough to hold an egg. Break the eggs one at a time into the center of the potato nest. Sprinkle the eggs with salt, or add a few slices of bacon. Place in a hot oven and bake until the eggs are set to one's liking. Sprinkle the top with parsley and serve.
